Exceptional facilities and amenities at St Monica Trust

At St Monica Trust, life is about much more than having a comfortable place to live. Across our five retirement villages and four care homes, residents can enjoy a vibrant lifestyle supported by exceptional facilities and amenities, beautiful surroundings and opportunities to stay active, social and connected.

Each of our communities has its own character, facilities and amenities, offering residents the freedom to enjoy later life in a way that suits them. From swimming pools and fitness facilities to cafés, landscaped gardens and welcoming social spaces, there is always something to enjoy.

Our facilities are carefully managed and maintained to a high standard, ensuring residents can make the most of their surroundings. Whether living independently in one of our retirement villages or receiving care in one of our care homes, residents can benefit from thoughtfully designed spaces and facilities that support well-being, enjoyment and quality of life. Some facilities are also open to the wider public, helping our communities remain connected with and contribute to the local area.

Green spaces are a defining feature of St Monica Trust retirement villages and care homes, providing residents with attractive places to relax, walk, socialise and enjoy nature.

Staying active is an important part of healthy ageing, and residents can access fitness facilities and activities across St Monica Trust.

Trained instructors are available to provide guidance and support, helping residents take part in exercise and fitness activities that are suited to their abilities and interests, with the aim of enhancing mobility, maintaining independence and supporting overall well-being.

The gyms can also play an important role in physiotherapy and rehabilitation. Physiotherapy may include a variety of activities, from supporting residents in the gym to developing creative exercises that make therapy more enjoyable. The aim is to help residents regain confidence and mobility while making the experience positive and engaging.
